Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Chapter 91

Led by Old Kohler, Klein and Esther came to an old apartment in the East District and walked into a damp room.

The elderly woman with a wrinkled face stood among the piles of clothes, with a haggard look, like a dry and dying old tree, her face was wrinkled and cracked, and her eyes were lifeless.

Another girl, about seventeen or eighteen years old, was sitting on the edge of the bed, weeping continuously, and confessed her self-blame while crying.

The laundry woman who was obviously "Liv" turned her head and yelled at her eldest daughter viciously:

"Why are you crying? Get up and do the laundry! Do you want to be hungry? Do you think you can't even go to free school!?"

After this brief vent, she realized that there were several people standing by the door: "Old Kohler... who are these two?"

The old Kohler was obviously shocked by the scene just now, and took a step back subconsciously: "Hey, Liv, this is a Mr. Detective, he wants, he wants to help you find Daisy."

Daisy is, of course, the missing youngest daughter.

Liv looked numb, and replied coldly: "We have already called the police."

When Klein convinced the mother with the cruel reality, Esther looked around the room. There were many wet clothes hanging here, and the lingering damp smell seemed to make people swell together. Living in this way for a long time In such an environment, it is impossible to expect good health, and Liv's 30-year-old but too old appearance also confirms this point.

The tiring life made her put all her spiritual support on the children, but now Daisy has disappeared.

In the end, Liv told Klein what had happened, and asked them for an item that Daisy often carried. When Klein said, "I can borrow a police dog", Esther immediately turned her head to the side. .

She knew in her heart that Klein was going to find someone through divination, but this excuse made her want to laugh.

When he left here, Klein had an extra vocabulary book belonging to Daisy in his hand.

After saying goodbye to the old Kohler, Klein asked Esther: "I'm going to track down the clues now, do you want to go together?"

Esther nodded of course: "I have a hunch that this matter has the same source as what I want to investigate."

Klein immediately reacted: "Do you think it will be the same group of people? Are they all led by Kapin?"

"We don't have any evidence now, so let's pursue it first."

After leaving the East District, the two hired a rental carriage. Esther saw Klein's divination with a walking stick, and once again felt the strangeness of the extraordinary world.

Half an hour later, the carriage stopped at Iris Street on the west side of Jorwood District after intermittently adjusting its direction.

It's not far from the West End, and the walking stick is precisely falling towards a luxurious house with vast lawns and gardens.While Klein was looking out the window, Esther was proofreading Backlund's map in her mind and marking this location within the area.

When Klein ordered the driver to move on, the driver glanced into the carriage and suddenly lowered his voice, "Sir, if you want to visit Mr. Capin, you shouldn't be bringing a lady with you..."

However, with Esther's hearing, she could still hear the coachman's voice clearly even if he lowered his voice, but on the surface she didn't make a sound, but put on a boring gesture of staring out the window, giving Klein a chance to inquire.

Klein asked the coachman in a low voice, "Why do you think so?"

"People often come out from the East District and come here in my carriage. Hehe, this is the home of the rich man Mr. Capin."

Esther's eyes froze, and the two disappearance cases were connected in this way.

It really is Capin...

Klein asked the driver to continue walking forward, then exchanged glances with Esther, and they both nodded at the same time.

As they moved on, the luxurious villa was left behind the carriage. It was still so serene and exquisite, but it had a completely different feeling in their eyes.

"There will be a gathering of Extraordinary people tonight, do you want to come and participate?"

Esther shook her head: "Not yet, I plan to investigate Kapin's matter first, and I will go with you next time when the Extraordinary gathers."

"That's right, do you want to go back first? I'm afraid there is no rush for this matter. We will disband at the nearby steam subway station. I have to go back and investigate some information."

The carriage shook slightly, but Esther stared at Klein without saying a word. Klein immediately felt a little guilty. If it wasn't for the "clown" ability to control the micro-expressions on his face, he might show uneasiness because he used these words to prevaricate the fellow.

But the "swindler" and the "cryptographer"'s keen perception of lies made Esther realize that Klein had other ideas hidden behind him. He really wanted to investigate some information, but he also planned to plan further actions by himself.

If Klein's thoughts are directly exposed, it is likely to leave a big gap between the two, and Esther does not want that to happen.

"Okay, but if you are going to face a very dangerous situation, remember to call me."

Klein nodded quickly: "If things develop that dangerously, I will go find you."

In case there is a possibility of exposing the special gray fog, it is absolutely impossible, so sorry, fellow.Klein added in his heart.

Esther suddenly whispered: "Is it related to your special ability?"

Klein was stunned for a moment, and could only continue to nod helplessly: "I really can't hide anything from you..."

Esther pointed at the center of her right eyebrow: "The Sequence Seven of 'The Thief' is called 'Deciphering Scholar', and you should be able to guess its range of abilities from the name."

"I see. Although it doesn't appear on the surface, the scope of application of this ability is quite wide." Klein suddenly realized.

"The focus is on concealment, probably because it's easy to be caught if you don't want to steal it." Esther said casually, "Do you need magical items? But if you use it for others, the side effects will be quite serious."

"what?"

"Actually, I wanted to call it Conan's bowtie at first." Esther took out the blood-red bowtie corresponding to the arbitrator Sequence Six "Judge" path from her satchel, "because the shape is very similar...but then I just Call it 'obsessive-compulsive disorder bow tie'. In addition to obsessive-compulsive disorder, there is a worse side effect, after use, it must be fed with the blood of living creatures, and the demand is measured according to the number of times the ability is used."

Klein was very curious: "With such serious negative effects, is this sealed item's ability very strong?"

"wait a second."

Esther glanced in the direction of the coachman and saw that he was not paying attention to the situation in the carriage at all, so a few light spots floated from Esther's temple hair and landed lightly on the bow tie, and they drew circles It melted into the top, dimming the scattered blood on the bow tie, turning it almost completely black.

Then Esther directly stuffed this thing into Klein's hands:

"You can hold it and study it first, because I only know part of its ability to use it. There are 'prohibition', 'imprisonment', 'exile', 'whipping' and 'death', all of which need to be activated by corresponding gestures, yes According to the knowledge of the last person who used it. I can feel that its role should be more than that, if you research other abilities, just let me know, I feel that you will have a better idea than me."

Klein was a little puzzled at first, but considering that Esther was "selectively taught" by Old Neil when he was in Tingen, he knew that she might not have been exposed to any ritual magic.

Esther might not be able to investigate various extraordinary items through divination like Klein did. Furthermore, even if she wanted to know the corresponding ability of the "judge", she couldn't find a place.

"I see, I just borrowed it for research, and I will return it to you soon."

Esther shook her hands indifferently: "If you think this thing is useful, you can keep it. I'm really sorry. You can exchange it with me for some extraordinary items that can fight in close quarters."

Klein chuckled: "You are really keen on fighting in hand-to-hand combat."

"Because it's more straightforward, but unfortunately I'm not an assassin." Esther moved her fingers and wrists, and almost pulled out hand flowers with afterimages in the air. Martial arts."

Klein's gaze immediately moved out of the car window. He didn't have the nerve to overwhelm the fellow villagers' curiosity, and directly said that the "witch" would change gender:
"No, no, the 'Assassin' path is very dangerous, you must not have this kind of thinking. As time goes on, their abilities will become the opposite of 'Assassin', and it will easily cause disaster..."

Esther just remarked casually, but she didn't take it seriously, but she was amused by Klein's reaction: "But the sequence cannot be changed if it is confirmed. Before I find a way to advance, I'd better be this 'Dream Stealer'. "

-

After parting ways with Klein at the steam subway station, Esther did not return to her residence in the East District. Instead, she went to the banks of the Tussock River and found a cheap hotel.

Just like Klein has his own plans, Esther also has her own plans. How long those captured girls will live in the Caping family is simply unpredictable.

Penny was taken away even earlier, and her situation is only more dangerous than Liv's youngest daughter, Daisy. If Penny is transferred to another place, there will probably never be any news.

Esther's "spiritual intuition" made her decide to investigate tonight.She will no longer restrain herself from using her abilities. Even if she only looks at the big men Kapin has befriended, the guards around him will not be simple.

Esther would not be so reckless as to directly assassinate Capin. Tonight, her plan was to investigate nearby to find out the exits and terrain of entry and exit.

She planned to infiltrate only once. If she could understand the internal structure of the Caping family's house, it would be easy to figure out where the dungeon where the girls were held was.

Ordinary people are helpless in the face of the stealing ability of the "Dream Stealer". What Esther needs to be wary of is the possible Extraordinary.

The best result is to find out the distribution of Capin Mansion without alarming anyone, and then find a way to cause chaos and take the opportunity to rescue those innocent people who were taken away.

Esther was empty-handed, and she really didn't have the confidence to really challenge Capin and the possible guards around him, but after she figured out the internal situation, she would naturally be able to share the information with Klein.

When the two join forces, the safety and the possibility of success should be greatly improved.

These are all Esther's considerations when resting in the hotel, but what she doesn't know is——

Someone really planned to go directly to assassinate Capin.
